bush in 2006 and possibly earlier, adnan laf tihad his relief approved by obama's tax force, won his habeas corpus petition as well. because the judges of the d.c. circuit court's, a bunch of right-wing judges, i think it is fair to say these people are very right wing, where been clamping down on the ability of the lower courts to approve the release of guantanamo prisoners under any circumstances, you know, they reversed the ruling in the case of adnan latif and relied for that on saying an intelligence report, which they even said was produced in haste under battlefield conditions. >> in a letter released in 2009, adnan latif wrote -- events were held across the nation tuesday to mark the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. president obama spoke in a ceremony at the pentagon. >> we recommit ourselves to the values we believe in, holding firmly without wavering to the hope that we confess. that is the commitment we reaffirm today. and that is why when the history books are written, the true legacy of 9/11 will not be one of fear or hate or division, but a safer world, a stronger

the president obama knows better. but there has been and will in politics in this country that if you aspire to the highest office, you have to be pro-death penalty, no matter if you know better. we saw bill clinton actually execute someone who had committed a crime as a juvenile. he also said some to death row -- he executed three people while campaigning for president read one was a retarded, so mentally incapacitated that he left his desert in his cell and told his lawyer he was saving it until he got back. these men know better and need to start doing better. you see women like kamala harris, the attorney general in california, saying explicitly she is against the death penalty. karl rove targeted her and her campaign, about her opposition to the death penalty would take her out of the race. she won despite that. we need more people in this country who truly have the courage of their convictions to run for office. but the governor of connecticut, meg harris in california. stand up for what you believe and do the r
